The shots hit an ultra-right actor in the Maidan Uprising: Alexander Musytschko, notorious leader of the Ukrainian nationalists, has been killed in a police operation. He had once fought in the war in Chechnya against the Russians.

The body of Alexander Musytschko – code name “White Sascha” – was found near the western Ukrainian city of Rivne. The Deputy Minister of the Interior reported that police had to arrest the leader of the nationalists in the late evening in a pub, because of “malicious hooliganism and resisting state violence.” He fled through a window and have the fire on the men of the special “Sokol – Falcon” opens. Musytschko was on 12 March has been put up for investigation, said the Vice-Minister of the Interior.

Photos of the scene, however, raise questions. They show Musytschkos corpse at a roadside. The massive upper body is half-bared, the chest has gunshot wounds on. The attacker would have to be convinced that Musytschko do not wear body armor and then killed him with two aimed shots to the heart, say campaigners of the “white Sascha”.

Musytschko was a controversial figure in the Maidan-revolution. On the one hand he was a leader of the movement “Right sector”. During the uprising in Ukraine was recruited from its ranks the majority of those fighters that brought about the fall of President Viktor Yanukovych.

On the other hand Musytschko put the power of the revolutionaries from quite personal: The man who was still failed with a crash at the recent regional elections a candidacy as a delegate with only one percent of the vote , swung himself into the Western Ukraine itself to state power on . In the West saw a Youtube video sensation , can be seen on the how the procured “white Sascha ” access to the offices of the public prosecutor’s office and attacked an investigator with a Kalashnikov rifle under his arm.

He would lay down his weapons only ” if the country has a normal government” : Just as the “white Sascha ” see the many of the Maidan fighters. The transitional government has so far not managed to disarm the radicals. They are now to be transferred to the National Guard is currently under construction .

So far Kiev can control the troops of rights rather bad . In the city Nemyriw they stormed in ” Glory of Ukraine ” Call the local vodka factory – possibly on behalf of shady businessmen who wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Ukraine for a hostile takeover of the company. Last week, a deputy of the right-wing nationalist party Swoboda had attacked the chief editor of a TV channel.

Even the now shot dead nationalists leaders Musytschko did not last long with constitutional considerations on: In Rivne he let his men seize cars. The “rights sector” has now based at the barracks of the disbanded special unit “Berkut” quarters.

The activities of some nationalists and paramilitaries as Musytschko are the reason why now cherish even many in the West doubt if it will take a good end to the Maidan revolution. Men like Musytschko any case would an armed conflict with Moscow probably not averse to the contrary: The shot dead nationalist leaders had even fought the mid-nineties in Chechnya against Russian military, as commander of a Ukrainian battle group called “Wiking” and as a bodyguard of the separatist President Dzhokhar Dudayev.

Russia’s Investigation Committee raises Musytschko claims to have then two dozen Russian prisoners ‘ tortured and killed. ” Russian authorities had therefore tendered the Ukrainians wanted list . They did so , however, only the beginning of March , nearly two decades after the end of the first Chechen war , but on the propaganda wave against the Maidan revolution. The “white Sascha ” retaliated for the Russian arrest warrant in his own way : In an interview, he promised to that 10 to 12 million buck head money , ” Putin umnietet ” .

Musytschko enemies but had made ​​not only in Moscow but also in Kiev. The new Minister of the Interior arsenic Awakow he threatened him “like a dog hanging on the legs and to destroy .”

Awakow is a man of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and even not known to be squeamish . After the attack the nationalists on the prosecution he urged the local authorities to put an end Musytschkos bustle . If they did not, he would react themselves.
